The '''Cooking with Jack Show''' is Jack's main YouTube channel and his primary dumping ground for content. Jack presents this as his magnum opus, showing off horrific creations that range from "There was an attempt" to "This could potentially kill anyone dumb enough to try it".


On the channel, Jack cooks such fantastic recipes like the ever-so-infamous [[Myrna#Party Cheese Salad|"Party Cheese Salad"]] and the horrifying [https://youtu.be/IchzyDuIa3M "Wet Brine Chicken"]. The channel started off with simple tutorials like [https://youtu.be/AJJ-iQkbRNE "How to Cut a Pineapple"] or [https://youtu.be/R1FfZiiK-I4 "Cut onion without crying"], which then devolved into heart stopping dishes like his [https://youtu.be/PsryXOZDY0s "Mushroom Cheeseburger Casserole"], which has more calories than what a normal human needs in a day or two, made about '''65''' days after he left the hospital for his [[fifth stroke]]. He also makes recipes that usually consist of raw chicken as “pink as a highlighter”, a massive about of cheese, and a disturbing amount of meat, melted all down into a dish that he calls “perfect”.

He also makes multiple series like the famous Lazy Man’s Recipes, where Jack either dumbs down simple recipes, makes a fancy dish less fancy, or makes a dish completely different from the original dish, as seen in his [https://youtu.be/ok4cM6WTA5E "Lazy Man’s Lasagna"] video (really just a baked ziti). Jack then has Playing With Your Food, where Jack analyzes the contents of chain fare food, surprisingly not devouring it through his maw.

Since the [[Notable critics#Dox hoax|AugustTheDuck doxxing incident]], his botched [[Sunday Evening Coffee|''Sunday Evening Coffee'' interview]], his approval for the genocide of Palestinians, and his 5th stroke, Jack’s reputation on YouTube has suffered greatly. While he never had a good rep to begin with for his hideous dishes, his terrible actions have made it suffer even more. After all of this occurred, the channel slowly devolved into AI generated slop; series like his Chili Month were entirely generated and scripted with the use of AI. His intro, once a proud preview of his completely botched career, now simply a slideshow of AI generated images and Bitmojis representing Jack’s fat self.
Jack considers himself a "celebrity", and he tried to [https://youtu.be/5mffOKBpNKg get in contact with the Food Network] to pitch his show, which went about as well as one may expect.

The following is a Lazy Man's Article.

Consider contributing to the CWJki by adding to it.

Read the editing guide if you need any help!

A comprehensive list of all of Jack's YouTube channels. These are all the attempts Jack has made to become famous on YouTube, however none of them have ever succeeded. (Jack will tell you otherwise.) As of 2025 most of his channels all usually utilize AI in the profile pictures, scripts and descriptions.

The Cooking with Jack Show is Jack's main YouTube channel and his primary dumping ground for content. Jack presents this as his magnum opus, showing off horrific creations that range from "There was an attempt" to "This could potentially kill anyone dumb enough to try it".

On the channel, Jack cooks such fantastic recipes like the ever-so-infamous "Party Cheese Salad" and the horrifying "Wet Brine Chicken". The channel started off with simple tutorials like "How to Cut a Pineapple" or "Cut onion without crying", which then devolved into heart stopping dishes like his "Mushroom Cheeseburger Casserole", which has more calories than what a normal human needs in a day or two, made about 65 days after he left the hospital for his fifth stroke. Jack's recipes usually consist of raw chicken as pink as a highlighter, a massive amount of cheese, and a disturbing amount of meat, melted all down into a dish that he bleats is "perfect".

He also makes multiple series like the infamous Lazy Man's Recipes, where Jack either dumbs down simple recipes, makes a fancy dish less fancy, or makes a dish completely different from the original dish, as seen in his "Lazy Man's Lasagna" video (Which is really just a baked ziti). Jack then has Playing With Your Food, where Jack analyzes the contents of chain fare food, surprisingly not devouring it through his maw.

Jack considers himself a "celebrity", and he tried to get in contact with the Food Network to pitch his show, which went about as well as one may expect.

Format

The format of a normal Cooking with Jack video has changed multiple times over the years, however retains the same basic qualities;

  • Intro clip. For much of the channel's history, the channel intro was Jack goofing around in the kitchen in some way; as of 2025, the intro is simply a slideshow, complete with AI-generated pictures and voiceover.
  • Jack then first appears in his kitchen, explaining what he is cooking today, then proceeding to ramble on about whatever the recipe is related to him.
  • Jack then lists and lays out the ingredients, which are quite usually chicken, meat and an ungodly amount of cheese.
  • Jack then will proceed to cook the ingredients together, without using any vegetables, seasonings, or even pepper, mainly using salt as his seasoning.
  • Jack then finishes cooking and shows the final product, which is usually raw chicken, cheese soup or whatever else his ruined brain could think of.
  • Jack then tries it, usually faking his reactions, infamously shown in the Party Cheese Salad video.

Jack on the Go is Jack's secondary restaurant review channel. Created three years after the main channel, while the Cooking with Jack Show is what Jack presents as his magnum opus, Jack on the Go is more what he wants to be doing; indulging in large amounts of already-prepared food while being able to write it off as a business expense. Jack has supplied the channel with steady content for several years, despite its videos never getting nearly the same amount of views as his main has.

Jack also boasts about his regular, "famous" Food Wars (or, as he sometimes likes to write it, Food WARS), in which he pits various restaurants of the same type against each other to find the best one. That was the idea, anyway; eventually Jack started blurting out the word "WAR" during just about any JoTG video. He has also attempted to get "FOOD WARS", "PIZZA WARS" and "TACO WARS" trademarked, however, this was rejected as "the applicant failed to respond or filed a late response to an Office action."[1][2][3]

The channel currently has a schedule of one video every Wednesday.

Format

The format of a typical Jack on the Go video has largely remained unchanged over the years.

  • Jack first appears, either in his car or at the destination's parking lot, describing where he is headed to. While he originally brought a crew of people to eat with, this mostly stopped as he moved to Tennessee. In recent years, Tammy has usually been the only one to join Jack on his adventures, largely because he cannot drive on his own anymore.
  • Jack enters the restaurant and starts commenting on various aspects within it. He usually films the cashiers and customers at this point, much to their dismay.
  • Jack and/or Tammy read off the menu while pondering what they want to eat. This usually takes a few minutes as Jack tries to negotiate with Tammy to order as much food as possible.
  • The camera cuts to Jack as he comments on the food's appearance or smell. He then enjoys his meal with exaggerated reactions and sounds.
  • Jack, Tammy, and anyone else joining them give their first impressions of the food. Tammy mostly echoes Jack's opinion.
  • The video cuts to Jack, either outside the restaurant or inside his house, giving his final thoughts on the experience. In most cases, he gives the place a rating, using an A-to-F "report card" format.

Analysis

In recent years, following the move to Tennessee, Jack has mostly focused on reviewing nationwide chains and insignificant strip mall Tex-Mex locations. Criticism towards the latter has clearly frustrated Jack, as he opens "El Ray Azteca, Gallatin, TN" with a wall of text calling out his viewers' supposed hypocrisy, claiming that they previously complained that he wasn't reviewing enough Mexican restaurants before.

F as in Frank is Jack's secondary podcasting channel. In this channel, Jack discusses random topics with either his brother Charles or other random guests.

Since late 2024, the channel has become the dumping ground for "WHAT'S TRENDING" streams, in which Jack talks insane politics with his family friend Jimmy, and "LET ME EXPLAIN" streams, which are more true to the channel's original premise with Charles yapping.

The channel previously saw its last upload on 12 February 2013. Jack teased a return to the channel in early 2024, but ultimately decided against it on 2 March, as he wanted his content to "stay positive".[6] On 23 September 2024, a significantly more bitter Jack officially revived the channel.[7]

Fish Hook was Jack's secondary seafood-oriented channel, collaborating together with Charles Caputo (Not to be confused with Jack's brother Charles).

Jack ultimately left the channel under a year after its creation, with speculation suggesting he disagreed with Charles over opening up the comment section. The channel saw its last upload on 5 March 2021.[8] Charles briefly brought back the channel on 13 June 2023,[9] but it was quickly abandoned again in midst of a Canada trip series on October.[10]

Cooking With Jack, Too! was one of Jack's secondary channels. It was a novel concept; send a video of yourself cooking to Jack, and he'll upload it on this channel and reap all the ad revenue for himself. At least you got paid in exposure!

Enough people fell for this scheme for the channel to receive 11 videos before it was discontinued. The last upload was made on 14 December 2014.[11]
